After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person Chapter 223: Chapter 223 The Hardest Direction

Chen Yu climbed all the way, keeping an eye out; after all, he was here to find the Snow Gingko, not to join these enthusiasts on a mountain climb.

The environnt of this place was incredibly perilous, an ideal zone for the growth of the Snow Gingko.

Moreover, according to its growth habits, it should be around four thousand ters above sea level.

[Snow Gingko discovered]

The system's prompt suddenly resounded, followed by the approximate geographical location appearing in Chen Yu's mind.

Chen Yu instantly beca excited, but when he looked up toward that location, he found that there were no supports nearby at all.

If an ordinary person were to climb over there, they would likely fall to their death.

"Climb up seventy ters, then install a rock climbing nail there, and throw a rope, wait for !"

Wayne looked up and noticed that seventy ters away from here there was a relatively flat section of cliff face, indeed suitable for fixing nails.

Additionally, after last night's avalanche, there was less snow in that area, and there was even a platform revealed, perfect for a temporary rest.

Just as he was excitedly preparing, he suddenly realized that Chen Yu had already moved towards a very treacherous area next to him.

"Brother Chen Yu, why did you go there?"

Chen Yu didn't turn back, "Do as I say, go there and install the nail!"

Wayne dared not say anything more and quickly climbed over to that place.

Chen Yu's physical fitness after all had reached the limits of humanity, so he appeared extrely agile and simple on the cliff, jumping twice, and directly arriving at the location where the Snow Gingko grew.

However, when he got there, he realized that the surrounding area, apart from a few extrely daunting, climbable rocks, was all flat cliff faces.

And atop these cliff faces were thick layers of ice.

Years of accumulation had made these ice layers extrely hard; if he were to forcefully climb, it was likely he would slip down.

Chen Yu adjusted his breathing slightly and then took out two ice-climbing hamrs from his body.

He swung the hamrs with all his strength, embedding them into the cliff face with a tallic ring.

With each swing, the hamr would penetrate deep into the cliff face, enough to support his body.

If it were anyone else, this would simply not be possible.

At this mont, Wayne had reached the spot Chen Yu ntioned earlier, had set the rock climbing nails, and thrown down two ropes.

When he finished and saw Chen Yu, he was frozen in place, his eyes filled with fear.

He had never thought soone would choose such an extre condition for climbing.

What shocked him even more was that Chen Yu's speed was incredibly fast, even faster than those top extre sport enthusiasts.

And now, Chen Yu was completely dangling in mid-air; if his ice-climbing hamrs did not secure properly, he would fall.

Wayne subconsciously clenched his fists with sweat and didn't even dare to breathe heavily, just silently watched.

Chen Yu climbed between the cliffs for a while, then arrived at an extrely narrow ledge.

There grew a very delicate little tree, which on its branches bore three gingko nuts, each only the size of a thumb.

Chen Yu steadied his breathing again; such a dicinal herb was rarely seen once in a thousand years, just taking a small piece would suffice to cure those old masters in the Imperial City!

The rest, if properly collected and combined with other dicines, could also treat so major and complicated diseases.

After stowing the three silver gingko leaves, Chen Yu brandished his climbing hamr and slowly moved to the side.

"Wayne, throw that rope!"

The sudden shout made Wayne hesitate for a mont.

He quickly grabbed his prepared rope, ready to throw it, but this rope was designed specifically for short-distance extension and was not very long.

Moreover, in such extre conditions, a too long rope could easily be frozen by ice and snow and damage the internal fibers, causing it to break.

"Brother Chen Yu, this rope isn't long enough, I'm afraid I can't throw it over!"

"Trust , throw it here!" Chen Yu called out and pulled a climbing hamr from his side, raising it over his head.

Although Wayne still hesitated, he had no choice at that mont and could only muster all his strength to throw the rope to Chen Yu.

Chen Yu eyed the rope's trajectory and then fiercely kicked off the cliff with his feet, propelling his whole body into the air.

Then, he caught the rope firmly with his hamr and wrapped it around his hand.

The next mont, Chen Yu used the rope to swing himself right in front of Wayne.

"My God, how on earth did you do that!"

Wayne's eyes were wide with disbelief.

Chen Yu said nothing, rely grabbed the rope and tied it around his waist before steadying himself.

He took a few deep breaths and pulled out an energy bar from his body, stuffing it into his mouth.

At that mont, Wayne looked at him as if he were a god.

In his eyes, Chen Yu had beco a being that had surpassed human limits.

"Let's rest here for a while, and then continue climbing, we should be able to reach the summit before sunset today."

Only then did Wayne realize that they were effectively hanging on the cliffside, which only allowed them to take a brief rest; staying here too long could exhaust their strength.

Without any hesitation, he copied Chen Yu, tied the rope around his waist, and after securing himself, continued to climb upwards.

Every so often, they would switch ropes and re-anchor the climbing pegs.

The northern ridge was inherently perilous, and especially in the section they were climbing, there was not even a path to find—they could only move slowly upwards through such terrain.

Compared to Chen Yu, Wayne's stamina was appearing sowhat weaker; before long, he was struggling, and if not for Chen Yu constantly pulling him along, he might have already fallen.

With the help of the system's calculations, their ascent was relatively smooth, and they managed to reach the summit before sunset.

At this location was the world's highest base station; once there, they could contact the outside world.

Additionally, there was a supply station nearby, with people stationed there year-round, and it was stocked with a large amount of essential supplies.

For anyone climbing Mount Everest, reaching this point ant success!

When the two n reached the summit, there erupted a chorus of exclamations.

These people had climbed from several safer routes, a feat that in the eyes of ordinary people was already quite an accomplishnt.

Yet Chen Yu and Wayne had climbed up from the most difficult northern ridge, which to everyone there seed like an impossibility.

A crowd imdiately gathered around, so with caras in hand, wanting to interview the pair about how exactly they had managed to climb from that direction.
